Good news and bad, don't you just hate that scenario?

I went in Monday with my own positive preferred results. So did Cindy. We got some but not the ones we expected. The good news is the lymphs in my abdomen have gone down and so has the overall tumor size. Other lymphs have not and the scan showed a couple of spots on the liver so that was the not so good news. She immediately changed the Chemo to a new one, so we are now doing our reading research. She wasn't too upset, just said let's see if we can find the magic one. As usual it was filled with a list of side effects and I seemed to tolerate it the first day very well. I'll get it every Monday as well. I actually feel pretty good this evening so if it keeps up, I'll be walking in the morning and doing a little reading. It was a day that other patientsdon't take too well, but both Cindy and I noticed at home that it was harder to get into a funk about it all and that was because of so many people around us keeping positive. Thank you all for that. We will keep hanging in there, keep praying and keep fighting and tolerating until the next scan and find out that the spots are gone. You know for years as a little kid I yelled at my mom telling her how much I hated liver. God Bless you all!

It's a lucky man to have nymphs growing in his abdomen!

Hey Mike, try not to focus on those "nymphs" too much-they're trying to get the best of you. Don't let them steal one single moment from you or your family. We'll be down for a visit, soon.
Love ya, C
